I could not find anywhere this information about smartfeeds: do articles get erased from smartfeeds when they are erased from the corresponding feed, because the feed has exceeded its archive size limit?
-
Consider this scenario: feed1 gets roughly 100 new articles per day. For time constraint, I limit the archive size to 100 articles, so that I have roughly the latest articles covering 1 day.
-
But I kind of run out of time lately, and can't afford to read the new 100 articles every day. So I set-up a smartfeed to extract the few articles (maybe 1-2 out of every 100) that I really do not want to miss, based on title keyword.
-
On day 1, I have 100 articles in feed1 (no time to read), 1-2 articles in smartfeed1.
On day 2, 100 new unread articles flow into feed1, replacing the 100 unread from day1 (these get erased from the database before I even had a chance to read them).
My question is: what will smartfeed1 have? Will it keep the 1-2 articles from day1 and add 1-2 articles from day2?
It is my wish that smartfeed1 does not lose the articles from day1, although they are automatically removed from feed1.
-
A way around this would be to add twice the same feed, one with archive size = 100 and another one with archive size = unlimitted. But I dont think that this is allowed.

Hello! Yes, you are
Hello!
Yes, you are absolutely right. Smartfeed does not get articles then they are deleted from physical feed.
There are some solutions : if you do not want these important articles to be deleted, then add them to ARCHIVE. You can have multiple archives, just build up your knowledge base.
Another possibility like you said is having the same feed subscribed two times. It's allowed. Of course Feedreader checks if feed link is already in database but if you add # mark in the end of feed link, then they are different to Feedreader and you can subscribe to the same feed again.
